Abstract

Medical textile is one of the highly developing field in technical textile. There are wide range of textile materials used in medical field in which bandages made of textile material plays a vital role in wound dressing. Our purpose of the study is to increase the efficiency of wound healing activity without using any toxic chemicals, which causes various side effects later on. Wound dressing material is made of various natural substances like spirulina(microalgae), AloeVera and Ocimum Basilicum (basil seed). Each component has its own function in wound healing due to various functions like anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-viral and digestive enzymes. Antioxidants are compounds, which inhibit oxidation. Oxidation is the process of chemical reaction that can produce free radicals, there by leading to chain reactions that may damage cells of living organisms. Anti-inflammatory is the property of a substance or treatment that reduces inflammation or swelling. Resist in growth of fungus and virus, which enters the body parts, is known as anti-fungal and anti-viral respectively. The digestive enzyme of the ocimumbasilicum (basil seed) is applied over the fabric above the spirulina extract. When it gets contact with water molecules in the blood it converts into gelatinous and enters into the wound, which heals the wound quicker than the other medicines available.
